Due to "high demand" (as evidenced by last week's leak), Playboy has published its Lindsay Lohan pictorial and profile ahead of schedule, the company announced over the weekend.

The digital edition is available now at i.Playboy.com, and the print version will be on newsstands Friday.

Below are a few snippets from her interview:

On her transgressions and what’s she’s learned in the past five years: “That ultimately we are each responsible for ourselves and for our actions…Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more.  My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way.  During the past five years, I’ve learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.”

On her sexuality and confidence: “Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with nature.  I think Marilyn Monroe once said that.  I certainly agree with her…Knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence.  It’s a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this is mine.”

On the paparazzo’s fascination with her: “I have no idea why there is this fascination with everything I do.  I suppose it is all part of this trend of people wanting to know every single detail of a celebrity’s life.  I mean, once we get to the point where magazines are doing pictorials on my wardrobe to court, that’s just so unimportant.”
